Here they are!
Psyduck is based
>>58888590I like how no one got the memo that Pokemon is only putting out mid to shit sets now, but people are still hyping, over buying, over spending, and shilling. Its literally riding a dying wave from 2023 and everyone refuses to admit theyre late to the party. Why are you buying these sets? The set identity sucks, theyre all over the place, just a mish mash and hodge podge pf different pokemon and concepts. The mega pokemon evolve from the middle stage, like how retarded is that, the original mega set didnt even do that. Whose paying for these? Do you really think they have actual value?
Yesterday's modernslop pickups
>Rhydon never got chase cards >no SIR, no EX, nothing>closest thing is Brock’s Rhydon and the Skyridge oneThis annoys me way more than it should. At least the modern arts of him are actually pretty good, but there are like 0 normal holos so I have to put up with the shitty reverse holo effect that modern cards all seem to have
>>58889428my word
>>58890337Team Magma's Rhydon is kino thobeit
How are them themed binders coming along lads?
>>58890337Why would a stage 1 get an ultra rare? Rhyperior is the Pokemon that should and does get ultra rares.
I think I've been collecting wrong all alongI thought I was smart buying cheap older cards 10 or so years ago but as I'm selling them I realize that I didn't really care for them Even if my goal was just money I would have been better off investing in a few things rather than filling entire binders full of singles + I would have saved a ton of time (selling singles online SUCKS)You really should buy cards you legitimately enjoy and disregard the entire speculation crap
>>58890066based japgod
>>58890434This Rhyperior is pretty gud for a non-secret 3/4art that is not 3dslop.
>>58890400I have a gen1 alt art binder (I know, how original), a small vending binder (but I'm too poor for masakis) and a vintage binder with mostly my wotc cards from middle school, and the carddass stuff that is still too incomplete to deserve a dedicated binder.
>>58891071>looks better than my english copyI feel like such a fuckin fool for buying english vintage sometimes, it’s retardedly overpriced at this point. Wish i started collecting earlier Anyways, nice card, Holon rules. Peep this armaldo
>still buying vintage
>>58891113I will, when GF gives me modern cards with good artwork of my favorite mons. And ffs, start using Cosmos holos more

>>58888590post came only posting home handpicked cards, i got a bunch of bulk from db/bw because it came with a few cards i wanted, decently priced tho ive wanted this mcdonalds wooper for ages>>58890400really nice cards i saw a couple eseries/adv lileep and cradilly when i was at the card shop at the weekend, didnt have too much money butt want to pick them up at some point
>>58892910why do v cards look so tacky something about the black border of those and vstar just looks terrible to me kek
>>58892248Mail day!!!

>>58893221Black border makes them look like another TCG like magic or similar. Grey border alt arts look more like pokemon
Card shop had this for $25. Did I fuck up by not buying it?
>>58893567Is it official or some knockoff? Personally if it was official I would have bought it because im a playmat crack whore with 50+ mats.
>>58893759It was official, I asked them to do $20 but he said $25. Do you open your playmats or just keep them sealed? I love Bianca but I'm more focused on strictly cards over accessories right now.
>>58888590>They made sure to put the girlmons(Clefairy/Chikorita) together while also taking into account that Chikorita Megas into a Fairy type which is the same type as ClefairyThat was pretty ingenious, the other tins are just random groupings
I'm about to spend $500 on a waifu PSA 10 card that the seller had listed for $650. Good deal for Misty's Favor in Japanese?
Should I wait until more Ascended products release (namely the Elite Trainer Box) before I try to buy all the cards I need from the set?I'm running the shopping wizard on Cardmarket and either way ('focus on prices' or 'focus on shipments') is more money that I was hoping to spend because there are no sellers that have all the cards I need, it's all scattered.
>this card I bought for 80¢ near mint in 2022 is now $7.45, and that's just moderately playedWhat the fuck?
>>58893791I open them and use them as my desk mat, I swap mats like once a week so that I cycle through my collection and get to see them but it’s not just pokemon mats, I got yugioh, digimon, and one piece mats as well. While yes the autism to keep things “pristine” is there I try to not let it effect me with mats. Having a nice mat on your desk can really lift the mood so I do suggest getting one.>>58893994As someone who has a PSA 10 Misty’s Favor I say do it.
I hope the suppliers and distributors responsible for the obvious market scalping and manipulation would burn in hell.
>>58888590>New set is out>Different types of reverse holos>Like 80 different illustration rares, full arts and special illustration rares>Last set was only like 2 and a half months agoGood thing i'm not into megas. Being a modern collector must be hell
>>58894606I bought it
>>58889428gross
>>58889428I'M MULTICULTURED
>>58895027I approve of waifu cards. Color on the outside is not important since they are all pink on the inside.
>>58895027And people have the audacity to call pokegirls lolis when they have hips like those.
>>58895027Not even god himself could pull me out
Don't mind me. I'm just dumping booster sleeves resealed with shitty bulk commons inside the store.
>>58895590Scalpers learning that they bought and resold the same resealed booster sleeves
only 300$ for some plastic! this shit better come with panties!
